Here's what I do with mine.........if they are in halves or even in pieces I drain them and place them on a bed of lettuce leaves. I put mayo. on them and top that with grated cheese. Then if I have any I place a cherry on top.
These are wonderful.

make a pear fruit tart!those r great
Sell them
make some pear jelly or pear preserves....my mother made some over the summer and it was so good. especially with fresh homemade biscuits. yum!
You could boil them in syrup, if you want add food coloring for a nice touch and place them on icecream. Or you could use it in Panna Cotta. You could put the sweetende pear in cakes. Or you could buy pund cake, slice it in half to make 2 layers, put jelly in the middle, then put jelly on top. then place the pears. decorate w/ cream... hehe..:)
